My call is going to be on TV
« on: August 07, 2009, 12:46:52 PM »
Hey all.  Not trying to gloat too hard but I'm a bit excited.  One of my turkey calls was used by Keith Mark of Macmillan River Adventures TV hunting show on a spring Missouri turkey hunt.  I haven't seen the episode but a couple customers told me they saw it last night and he shows it off pretty well.  The episode airs again Saturday (August 8) at 4:30pm CST and again at 1:00am Sunday morning on the Outdoor Channel.

I had an opportunity to meet Keith and his cameraman Josh when they came by and picked up the calls I gave them on their way to Missouri for the hunt.  They're great guys for sure.

Wow, how cool is that. Congratulations. You deserve to glote and be a bit excited. I know I would be. I'll have to try and catch that show.

Thanks Braz.  I ran home on lunchbreak and watched it on DVR (my DVR was set to record every episode of MRA because I didn't know when the episode would air).  Correction...It was a Kansas turkey hunt that aired.  Guess they didn't film the Missouri one.  Keith gave me a really nice plug and is really complimentary of the call.  The episode starts out with bear hunting, then KS turkeys.

I made his call from a piece of redwood burl and just wasn't 100% pleased with the sound.  So I made him another from cocobolo.  When he came to the house he looked at both of them and just loved the sound of the redwood burl, which was just a little more shrill than I care for.  I think his cameraman laid quick claim to the cocobolo one because I received a disc of pictures of him with his own bird later in the season!
